-Be it known tht I, VIRGINIAY-B0IJL5, l citizen of the United States;- residingat Rockport, in thefcounty of Aransas and State of Texas,7have invented certainenew and useful Improvements iny Ovens; endl do hereby declare the following to bea full,

clear, and exactdescri v)tion of' the invention,

such as will enable ot ers skilled in the art to which appertains te make and use the Sallie.

v This invention relates to ovens, and espelcially to that class of ovens employed as "auxihary to an open burner, as., tor instance-a gas or oil burner, and has' for an obJect to.

provide an oven embodying `new andimproved features of convenience, reliability and economy. l y

. A further object of the invention is to provide in an oven a plurality of openings 'adapted toreceive heat from a burnerlnter changeablyan'd to conduct theheat tol different parts of the, oven for different classes e 1n an oven an opening formedl inthe from theburner to the oven vin substantially auxiliary opening 'also inthe bottom of. the oven in'- communication with a conduit' or conductor adapted to conduct the heat from the upper part of the Withthese and-other'objectsiin view, the invention consists of certain novel constructions, combinations and arrangements of parts, as will `be hereinafter fully described.

in the drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective viewV of the improved yoven shown with lthe closure or 'front door open. Fig. Slisl a ver` tical, transverse sectional view oi the oven, seetioning also the heat conduit.

, Like characters of reference designate cerresponding parte throughoutl the several fviews.- a, Y.

The oven forming the subject-matter of this application comprises' a bodv portion 10 of substantially the usual land ordinary form, size and material, and provided with any vvlip-- proved number of shelves or grates 11 for supporting material to be baked within the oven and provided with openings to permit the heat to pass therethrough-and circulate within. theloven in'substantially the usual and ordinary manner.v The oven is also provided with a'`c1osure' '1-2 ofany a proved form', hereshovvn asfa door hinged iorizontally'atthe bottom and opening outwardly and downwardly, andiwith any'y approved forni of fastening or securing means, as the turn button 13. v'r'tdja'cent the bottom of the oven, a deflect-or orl baille late 14- is disposed s )aced somewhat -avi-'ay rom' the bottom 15 o the ovenl and also away from the front and rear. edges of the oven to ermit the heat to pas's aboutthe edges of tllie said baffle plate and into the baking chamber ofthe oven.

Beneath the bafiie plate 14 an opening 16 isformedin the bottom 15 in such osition that lieat from the'burner disposed eneath the bottom of the oven passes through the opening and directly into contact vwith the g baffle plate 14 and about the edges o'f the;

said baille into the heating chamber and up- `or grates Urin-'substantially the usual manner.

As auxiliary te justabl'e flue 17 is provided, preferably slidable verticallywithm a sleeve 18 erected over an lopening formed in lthe bottom 15 of the 'oven adjacent the opening 16but's aced therefrom s at or adjacent to the bac wall of the oven. y The sleeve 18 isfpr'ovided with a slot 19 -The Ioven is preferably surrounded and em-i lnaced e'xce t lat the bottom byja heat nonoonducting ood or cover member 22 com- -posed of asbestos or'similar material, and provided with a handle 23 by which the hood or vcover may be removed from the oven when desired.

In use theoven usual and ordinamay be employed inthe but if xt is desired to employ. the upper she the flue 4opening v16 an adl r wardly throughr the openings in ythe shelves through which extends the spindle 20'of a manner by locating the i opening 16 imma iately abovethe burnex wardly through the flue and into contact with the under surface of the deector 19 and thence downwardly upon the surface of the material dis Osed upon the upper shelf 1 1.

My adjustab e flue' is the rincipal feature of lmy invention. My Hue eats the top of" the oven so intensely that I am able to cook on the top of it. I do my boiling on the top of my oven While I am broiling and baking inside; thus the one flame cooks a. complete meal allat the same time.'

The term bottom as used in the'specification and claimsmeans the bottom horilz'ontal vsheet 15 as distinguished from the ylower end of the oven structure.

I claim:

1.- In an ovcny' a body'providcd with an o ening formed in the bottom thereof, a lluo s 1dab`le vertically through the opening, and terminating short of the top of tho oven, and a baffle plato disposed above the upper end of the flue. y l

2. In anA oven, el body oruon provided With'a vertical. flue' slidab e -vertically :md

ada ted torllirect' heated air to the upper part of t e oven',` and a damper within lthe llue and movable therewith adapted to control the flow of heated air within the flue.

. In testimony whereofI affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
